Tennessee - Memphis cancelled

[VolFreakJosh]

Memphis cancels the game, because THEY broke protocols, but Memphis players are on Twitter trashing Rick Barnes. Their program is nothing but garbage. Penny's trash personality washes off on his players.

This will hurt his image.

I don’t give a damn if he’s a formal NBA player.

His selfish attitude and bad mouthing people only makes him look weaker.

I checked my phone 1015 nothing had been said or shown on ESPN. Left my driveway turned on the radio and heard the news as I was about to park. Total BS. This makes me livid!! Just like the SEC tourney right before tip off.

at least you were "about to park". I was already in the parking garage and just shut my door when my phone rang with the news.

there's some serious rumors that the effected memphis state players were all at a party last nite

I had a feeling this game was going to be cancelled.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Penny didn’t want to schedule Tennessee anymore after getting his a$$ handed to him at Memphis.

He also talked sh*t about Barnes and Barnes fired back.

There’s no reason to even play this game anymore. It’s become a joke.

I agree. And never do them a favor in football ever again either. Have fun in their trash conference and let Lehman bitch every time BYU or South Florida or Jerkwater State gets picked to move to the “power 5”

Well, downtown w my son and one of his friends. We literally pulled into a parking lot and then the tweet came ……. Frustrating!

According to Barnes....hell no.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Interviewed Barnes on the Vol network, he said they were notified when on the bus driving to Bridgestone. Said he liked the SEC rule of if you have 5 play them, else forfeit. That rule wont apply to Memphis State.

Barnes said no a little bit ago

 

[DuckInAPen]

I'll just say the 3 biggest talking heads around the Memphis program were all saying in different ways how this game shouldn't be played over the past couple of days....

They were just laying the groundwork for today

Can you elaborate?

What a f*****!!! Have fun in the NIT!!

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Penny explaining why they ducked Tennessee.

 

[imw8n4u]

Making me worried now they might cancel the Music City Bowl.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It's so funny watching Memphis fans try to spin this as Tennessee being scared and not wanting to play.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

There ought to be a class action lawsuit filed against Penny and Tiger High.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Wont even let folks watch the scrimmage now. Unbelievable.

Fine by me , they look like bitches, and they will suffer come tourney selection time. If they somehow make it in as a 11 seed I hope we see them there

 

[GreveHaller]

this is the basketball equivalent of flopping

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Can you elaborate?

Yesterday, the leading media guy in town wrote a front page article saying how this game shouldn't be played in Nashville. Martin and Parrish both talked on their radio shows how this wasn't as important now since Memphis beat Bama.

The 3 guys with all the university connections in town essentially said the same thing 24 hours before this happened.

This bs HAS to end

[kiddiedoc]

Sounds like some players caught the Irish Variant.
